Nabatieh finance officials arrested over bribery, extortion

Lebanon’s State Security arrested three senior officials at the Nabatieh Regional Finance Department for allegedly taking bribes and extorting citizens.

The investigation found that the department head, a division chief, and a senior inspector ran an organized system to solicit payments in exchange for processing administrative transactions.

The arrests were carried out following instructions from the Public Prosecutor, and the officials have been referred to the competent judicial authority.
